A compelling example of Mexico’s place on the world-class wine stage.

The Story

One of the world's most classic blends, and it works here like a song. As one of the "biggest" reds of the Tres Raices lineup you see right away that even when leaning in the bold direction, they are still the Ferrari of wineries in central Mexico. No sign of anything being over-played here: not too ripe, not too much oak, not too much extraction... balance, balance, balance.
